Dr. C. H. Brough, of tho University of Arkansae, chairman of the com mission,' told the President the com mission was organised to make an im partial study of the race question from the standpoint of tho negroes econ Qm ic, hygienic, civic and moral betterment. He said a deep investiga tion of the subject was being made with the good of the negro always in mind. "I am very glad to express my sin cere interest in this. work -and -sym pathy with if.,' said the Pr?sident in reply. ' I think that men like yourselves can be trusted to see this great ques tion at every angle. There is not any question, ic .seems to me, into which more needs to be put, br more thor ough human- good feeling, than Oils. I know myself,- as a -southern mau. bow sincerely the heart ot the South desires the good of tuc negro and the advancement qf his race on all sound and. sensible lines, and everything that caa be ?ono m that direction bj of the highest value. It is a matter of common understanding. "There ls a channing story told about Charles Lamb. The conversa tion lu his little circle turned upon some men who were not present, and Lamb, who you know, stuttered, said 'I bato that fellow.' His friend said, 'GharleB, 1 didn't know you knew him.' Lamb said, 'I don't; I-I can't hate a fellow I--I know.' "I think that is a very profound hu man fact. Yea cannot hate a man you know. An? our object is to know Ute needs of the negro, and sympathetical ly telp him in every way that is pos piole for his good and for our good.

I there waa a growing sentiment among the white and negro leaders in the South in favor of the educatiob of the negro race. In his annual report. Dr. Brough re viewed the problems of the race in the ?south. Under the Anna P. Jennies foundation, he reported, 118 counties in 12 states last year improved their negro rural schools, while all the uni versities represented on the commis sion were offering courses on the race question. Dr.'Brough referred to segregation aa "a moo t od question" which formed the only cltrad on the horizon. The constructive work before the commission, he declared td be: "The socializing and. rationalizing of the impulses of an inferior race by imposing Upon them the Importance of preserving the racial Integrity of both races, securing industrial educa iiou *ud attaining thfc. gos! u? sc?? om lc equality or opportunity." Dr. Brough believed there was too much seal a**.ong negroes for tho externals of education and a growing dislike for domestic service.

OSWALD ^pflBtT WAB Cbrlatmao eve, and jp Caleb Churton, the money ' JU lender, Mt th hie great din ing room, surrounded by all that makca for luxurious living. "Bo Jack preferred his artist's work to thia," he mused, chuokling con temptuously while he half spoke thal words. Ten years before, his elder brother had told their father that ha was not cut out for a Shylock, that he pre? ferred to get a living by pleasanter means than his fellow beings' flesh and blood, and ha? gone out into the world cursed by the father and laughed at by his brother. It was three years later-and lt months after he had announced his marriage to a fellow artist's daughter -that old Churton died, leaving all the business to Caleb, and not men tioning -Jock Churton by so much as a single word In bis will. To do him justice, Caleb had re belled against this as much as he could, but he had found out that bis brother was able to keep his head above water, and, sfter offering him a ahare-only to be Indignantly re fused-Caleb applied himself to the task of doubling bis father's wealth. All these things went through his brain as he sat by his fire. Of a sud den a thought struck him. "I will go sud parade my wealth before them-will make the wife bit terly envious and Jack sorry that he ever refused mel" With this amiable intention he rose, ordered his automobile to be brought out,- and waa soon whirling toward Jack's home. Suddenly the auto stopped, and be got out, telling the eh au ff eut to re turn in sn hour, not longer. "It I am finished before, I can spend the time somehow," he thought. Up the stepa of the great apartment he went until he came to a door la beled 42. Then he knocked, and get ting no answer, entered very quietly, finding the door, not locked. He looked round the tiny hall, and then stepped into the firat room. "Are you Santa Claus?" The timid little query stopped him in hu wanderings, a-J be looked down to uta fest to sec a sunny* haired, blue-eyed little mite gravely regarding him. "But no. you can't be Santa Claus, for he'a ever so old. and has got a white beard sud a long coat; and a big bag full of toys, and comes down the chimney, and doesn't come till after I've gone to bed, and-and-" She paused In her list of details for want of breath, and. the n>it time for many years, Churton laughed heartily. "You queer little mite," he said, "Tm not Santy. Who are you," Tm Gladys Churton, and I'm not queer. I'm very well, 'thank you." "So you are Gladys," he said. "Where are your father and mother " "They've gone out to buy soma things for me, and they told me to be ever so good. They will be back soon." Churton looked around him. It was so pleasant; so happy, evidently, and the homo he bad left seemed to lack a great desi. He sighed. "What's the matter, strange man?" -Nothing, dear." "But there must be something. I always go like that when I want a doll, and mamma won't buy lt for me. Is your little giri naughty?" *T haven't got a little girl." "Poor strange man!" with a cloud ing of her sunny face. Then, sudden ly, "look cut, her? come' mamma dad dad! Let's hide." "All right, dear; tell me where" Hastily she drew bim' behind a CUT? tain, and followed. '"Where's my girlie?" in a clear, happy voice. The mite ran out and struggled In her mother'a arma. "Yo? don't know who else ts h?re," she said Importantly. "There's a strange man, and-poor dear!-he hasn't got a little girl, md he Isn't happy." She ran back to the curtain and dragged out a somewl^t dusty, shame faced Individual. i "I ?am? to see yon-f?!t a blt lone ly- Hang lt all! Jack. I want a taste of home life, and escape from me eternal accounts. No," as the clear, blue eyes of the baby wara fixed an him, "that's a lie. I came here to show off my wealth, and td maha rou envious; but your little ray ot sunshine bera took the conceit oat of me. Hang it, man, 'aka ma ta, for pity's sake, and let &M< be human this Christmastide. The money can go. I roust stay here" When Charton's ms? ?ala? back, he waa told that the master would not be home for soma days. END OF JURY GASES IN Cit COURT IN ?
